Jesus fucking Christ… can we not let sleeping dogs lye in this god forsaken World or what?! First, with the reunion of Take That, you knew the Mainstream of music was taking a dive and were fucked in the creativity department of pop culture at the moment, but todays announcement at 12pm will see the Gates of Hell open and all that remains of the credibility of the Record Industries stance on piracy and supporting the artists crumbles away.
Todays announcement is what modern music is about; Guaranteed Cash Cows. . Their stance will probably be along the lines of “If we didn’t have piracy, we wouldn’t have to dig up hacks like the Spice Girls and fuck their metaphorical corpses for every last penny we can and would be able to support new music”. Well fuck the mainstream music industry, and fuck the Spice Girls.
Its fucking pitiful and every penny they make off this barrel scraping reunion should go to charity if they had souls. Not one of those cunts needs more money, not one of them is doing it to inject the music industry with some fresh, new creative juices, this is The Man through and through… Satan fucking each one of them in the ass, twiddling His thumbs deciding on which other has-beens to resurrect next (please God, not New Kids On The Block… please…no…..)
Unfortunately for the Third World, this reunion just means another Ferarri for some Simon Cowell type cunt in the music industry, probably with a pretentious little pony tail and a goatee and “high fives” all round. Probably.
And unfortunately for you and me, its going to mean the dredging up of turgid Spice Girls records on the radio, a Greatest Hits CD advertised on TV (Third edition.. Im sure the Record Industry has a factory load of them they’re going to relabel stored somewhere), Music Videos played day after day and their tracks played non-stop at discos, parties and nightclubs with your douchebag uncle dancing like someone doused in petrol and auditioning for their life as you smoke a cigarette waiting to flick… again, probably…
What next for the Industry? Perhaps we need to dig up Kurt Cobain and resurrect the only good thing to come out of the 90s.. unfortunately his rotten corpse will be slightly harder to bring back to life than the Spice Girls but I’m sure with the mastery the Music Industry, and the promise of more cash, you’ll be able to do it and sell the “Grunge Look” again by dressing his bones in Charity Shop clothing. Hell, knowing the industry they’ll probably get that whiny piece of shit from Puddle of Mudd to pretend to be Kurt (not that he’s not already doing that) and say that the shotgun wound wasn’t fatal and he’s been in hiding ever since. He’s now back, but with an all new mainstream approach to music…
5 acts that are probably thinking of a Comeback thanks to the reunion of the Spice Girls but their Ex is probably thinking “Fuck off”
1. All Saints - The Spice Girls arch enemy must be set for a return. Unlike Take Thats rivals, East 17, they were squeaky clean and not addicted to crack. In the later days I’m sure one of them got their wabs out in some “arty” film but I’m sure they’ll still be good for a comeback tour. (edit - apparently All Saints did reform in 2006 and flopped miserably, their last release this year got to 256 in the charts! It must’ve sold all of 50 copies!)
2. Andrew Ridgeley of Wham - He’ll probabaly forgive Georges antics in toilets to bring back Wham, unfortuantely for Andrew, George is more interested in chomping cock than making shitty pop music, and good for him.
3. TLC - Fortunately Lisa “the pirate” Left-Eye Lopes is dead, but this won’t be stopping the music industries brain thinking of a compassionate tribute reunion for the umpteenth time. They’ll draft in some other patch wearing freak, Gabrielle perhaps, she’s done fuck all recently and would love another crack…
4. Jim Corr - Irish spirit, commerical image, Incest - The Corrs had it all. Squirrel faced, token male Jim must be rubbing his hands together at the prospect of sleeping with his sisters on the tour bus again.. pocket wanking whilst they change… the friggin’ perv…
5. Boyzone - I bet every time Westlife release another number one, Ronan “Gayboy” Keating thinks “That should’ve been us” then kills another small woodland creature with a hammer. You know when that guy dies they’re going to find the scalps of children in his attic - anyone that squeaky clean is hiding a dark, dark secret. Anyway, the record industry must be waiving ever increasing piles of cash in front of these mother fuckers, or at least Ronan, the rest of them are probably alcoholics and suck cock for coke. Eventually, Boyzone will be making a return… maybe to brawl with Westlife in an Oasis Vs Blur style rumble… now that would be entertaining…
